Sir, The Indian subcontinent was known as 'Indica' by the Greek travelers after the Sanskrit word 'Sindhuka' since the 3rd Century B.C in history and more specifically, the ancient European travelers of the 1st and 2nd century C.E have referred to the geographical region of North India or the land between Himalaya mountains and Vindhya mountains as 'Ariaca' after the Sanskrit word 'Aryaka' (i.e Aryadesha) just as they have referred to the geographical region of South India as 'Dakinabades' after the Sanskrit word 'Dakshinapatha' whereas they have referred to the geographical region of Kerala (i.e Keralaputhra) as 'Damirica' after the Sanskrit word 'Dramidaka' (i.e Dramidadesha) meaning the southernmost region of the Indian subcontinent hence the Oldest literary works of Kerala itself refers to the geographical region of Kerala as 'Dramida' in Kerala history.

He clearly said "Pazhanthamizh" paattu and also he mentioned a song from Tamil Sangam era work "Puranaanooru". But till the end he never mentioned anything about Sangam era or Cheran Kings. Not sure why historians hide sure details from students? Also he dodged the question's second part. Yes. There were ancient seaports where Romans and Greeks came and they exchanged goods and the trade was flourishing. The time period was from second century BC till late 5the century AD. Possibly even later. Muziris or Muchiri Pattannam was the port where such trades were flourishing at that time. The ancient Muziris is identified as today's Pattannam which is near North paravur.

In the context of analysing communities, and the antagnising inter and intra-community relationships, a common historical perspective for oppressor and oppressed is impossible.

Certain idea of his thoughts are not acceptable to all. By the passage of time thinking patterns also change. So nothing is static in the changing world. Certain available source of the antiquity of the ancient culture and Civilisation must be considered. Remember, that the Materialism and Marx ideology shall not help to study the human history as a whole.

ചില പറമ്പുകളിൽ കീടൻ കല്ലുകൾ കണ്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്. അവിടങ്ങളിൽ ഇ രുമ്പു ഉണ്ടാക്കിയിരുന്നതായി പറയപ്പെടുന്നു. കട്ടി കൂടിയ ചെങ്കല്ല് ഉരുക്കി, ഒഴുകി വീണത് കട്ടയായി കഴിയുബോൾ രണ്ടറ്റവും വെട്ടി മാറ്റി നടുക്കുള്ളത് എടുത്തു വീണ്ടും ഉരുക്കി എ ടുത്താണ് ഇരു മ്പ് നിർമിച്ചിരുന്നത്.

ഒരു സമൂഹം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഒരു സമുദായം ഉണ്ടാവുന്നതിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും അടിസ്ഥാനപരമായ പ്രക്രിയ അവരുടെ ചരിത്രം അറിയുക എന്നതാണ്. ചരിത്രം ഇല്ലാത്ത ജനത സംസ്കാരമില്ലാത്ത ഒരു സമൂഹമായി കൂപ്പുകുത്തുകയില്ലേ? അവരുടെ സ്വഭാവ രൂപീകരണം തുടങ്ങി സർവവും അവരായി തീരുന്നത് തന്റെ മാതാപിതാക്കൾ തൊട്ട് മുൻകഴിഞ്ഞു പോയവരെ പറ്റിയുള്ള ബോധ്യത്തിൽ നിന്നല്ലേ? അപ്പോൾ എങ്ങനെയാണ് സ്വന്തം ചരിത്രത്തെ തീർത്തും ഭൗതികമായി കാണാൻ കഴിയുക?

This man is intentionally deriding India and Kerala. He is telling Malayalees to look down on their ancestry, sad, suggesting that Malayalees had no culture and were hooligans and robbers. It is true that these had happened in the past and the fact is that these happen every day, even today. It is curious that he derided Asoka and mention positively Carl Marks and minimized trade by ancient Kerala.

He is talking about the linearity of History. It is falsehood that history and progress is linear. 400 years ago the Indian GDP is believed to be 1/4th of the World and what was it at the beginning of the 20th Century

Is he a Marxian? Is it why he is saying that there was nothing in Kerala. Does he not know that Romans gave gold in lieu of items like gold and there is even a reference that the roman senate discussed that Roman gold is depleted due these purchases. Why is man then saying there was no import or export of good from ancient Kerala. He revels in deriding Kerala and is exuberant in saying ancient European technology was the best but in a very subtle manner, however good enough to destroy Kerala's and Indian patriotism.

Sir, The land of 'Kerala or Keralajanapadha or Keralaputhra' in Indian history since the 3rd Century B.C to 12th Century C.E referred to as Malayalam, Malanadu, Malamandalam etc in Kerala history after the Sanskrit word 'Malaya' as denoting the western ghats did not consist of any region east of the Ghats or the region of Tamil Nadu once referred to as 'Kongu-Nadu, Pandi-Nadu, Chola-Nadu etc' in Indian history hence the 1st century and 2nd century European travelers specifically refers to the capital of Keralaputhra as situated 20 stadia (3 km) inland from the sea-coast or in present day Kerala. : The kings of Kerala are referred to as belonging to the Keralakula (i.e Kerala-Dynasty) in the Oldest Sanskrit works of Kerala as the sovereign of Kerala was titled as ‘Keralaputhra’ in Sanskrit since the 3rd Century B.C and similarly Yakshan Keralan, Godha Keralan, Kerala Narayanan, Keralan Srikumaran etc are the various other personal names of Keralites as present in the Oldest Inscriptions of Kerala in Old Malayalam since the 9th century C.E as the Kerala-Country and its capital was under the dominion of the Naaduvaazhikal (i.e vallabhapattanam king, mahodhayapattanam king, kolambhapattanam king etc) as attested by native records and foreign travelers including Al-Biruni since the 11th century C.E : For Example: "Malabar (i.e Malayalam Country) is a great province lying towards the west 'of the province of Bandi (i.e Pandya)' and the people here have a language of their own and a king of their own and pay tribute to nobody." - Marco Polo (13th century C.E). : It is accepted by Tamil Nadu scholars that the Sanskrit term 'Chola' was written as 'SoRa' in the various Tamil inscriptions of the Chola-Dynasty and similarly, the 'Kerala' kings were referred to as 'SeRa' in the inscriptions of the Invaders from Tamil Nadu until the 12th century C.E as the term 'Sera or Seralan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Kerala' in Sanskrit whereas the term 'Pandi or Pandiyan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Pandya' in Sanskrit as the term 'Sora or Soran' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Chola' in Sanskrit hence the land of Kerala was referred to as Cheraman-Nadu, Cheraman-Loka, Chera-Bhumi etc in Kerala records itself. : For Example: "...sarvam eve anupashyata tathaiva Andhran cha Pundran cha Cholan, Pandyan, Keralan." - Valmiki Ramayanam - Kishkindha Kanda : The 7th century to 12th century inscriptions of Tamil Nadu refers to multiple Pandya kings and Chola kings as having invaded the region of “Malainadu or Kerala” and the Tamil Nadu king Raja Raja Chola (985 C.E -1014 C.E) in his inscriptions on the conquest of Kerala claims that his army invaded the country which was the Creation Of Parashurama (Kerala) and plundered the town of Vizhinjam, Kollam, Kodungallur etc which itself shows that the land of Kerala was known as the Parashurama Kshetra (i.e creation of parashurama) among even the non-keralites in history. : The ancient European travelers of the 1st and 2nd century C.E have referred to the geographical region of North India or the land between Himalaya mountains and Vindhya mountains as 'Ariaca' after the Sanskrit word 'Aryaka' (i.e Aryadesha) whereas they referred to the geographical region of Kerala (i.e Keralaputhra) as 'Damirica' after the Sanskrit word 'Dramidaka' (i.e Dramidadesha) meaning the southernmost region of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) hence the Oldest literary works and inscriptions of Kerala itself refers to the geographical region of Kerala as 'Dramida' in which the city of Mahodayapuram (i.e Makkothayarpattanam in Old Malayalam) or Thiruvanchikulam (i.e Srianjanakhalam in Sanskrit) or Muyirikodu (muziris) in Old Malayalam as situated on the banks of the river Periyar (i.e Mahanadhi, Choorni etc in Sanskrit) was the capital of the Kerala king titled as 'Keraladhinatha' in Sanskrit or 'Cherabhumishvara' in Malayalam (i.e Keralabhasha). : For Example: "Keralaanaam dramida shabdhavaachythvaad apabhramshena tadbhaasha tamizh ithyuchyathe" - Lilathilakam - Meaning - "The language of Kerala is known as Tamizh in the vernacular through the phonetic modification of the word Dramida." : The term 'Tamizhakam' in the Tamil grammar Tolkapiyam itself is the transliteration of 'Dramidaka' in Sanskrit and not denoting a single culture or language or kingdom or history but a common geographical region as consisting of KL and TN thereby the author has recognised 12 regional dialects in which 5 dialects are pertaining to Kerala and 7 dialects are pertaining to Tamil Nadu just as the Tamil grammar Nannul of the 13th century hence the Kerala records have also differentiated the language of Dramida (i.e Tamizh) into Pandyabhasha (pandi language), Cholabhasha (chola language) and Keralabhasha (malayalam language) in history. : The inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 9th century C.E and 12th Century C.E is referred to as 'Old Malayalam' by linguists because the inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 13th century C.E and 16th century C.E shows linguistic continuity with minimal differences hence it is termed as 'Middle Malayalam' by linguists.Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) is just as old and classical as any other Dravidian languages including Tamil hence the phonology and vocabulary of Keralites to this very day are found in the Oldest mythological literary works and inscriptions of Tamil Nadu (ex. njan, njandu, thudangi, pettu, aliyan, achan etc) as the grammatical principles of Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) was contrasting from the ‘Tamizh’ of the inhabitants of Tamil Nadu due to the phonological and morphological differences between the regional languages of the East and West of the Ghats mountain ranges since known history. (Ex. Njan in Malayalam is Nan in Tamil) : ‘The view that Malayalam as having diverged from Tamil is certainly wrong, as we can see from the several archaic features of Malayalam.” - David Dean Shulman : "The preservation of many early linguistic features in Malayalam and the altered reflections of those features in Tamil point to the differentiation between the East coast (Tamil area) and the West coast (Malayalam area)” - A. Govindankutty Menon : The terms 'Tamizh, Naazhi, Pazham, Pavizham, Makizham etc' in Old Malayalam are all derived from the Sanskrit words 'Dramida, Naadi, Phala, Pravala, Makula etc' as such phonetic modifications or transliterations of Sanskrit words are present in all the Dravidian languages since known literary history and similarly, the terms 'Ketala, Choda, Pada' etc in the Ashoka Edicts of the 3rd Century B.C in Prakrit language are the transliterations of the Sanskrit word 'Kerala, Chola, Pandya' etc as attested by all linguists today. : The terms Cherakon (i.e Keralakularaaja in Sanskrit), Kunnalakon (i.e Shailabdhishvara in Sanskrit), Valluvakon (i.e Vallabhakshoni in Sanskrit), Piraamanar (i.e Brahmana in Sanskrit) etc as found in Old Malayalam and Middle Malayalam inscriptions and literary works are NOT denoting the people of Tamil Nadu or 'Tamilans' irrespective of caste referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history but the people of Kerala referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history. : For Example: The kings of Kerala were referred to as 'Malayala Thiruvadi' in the inscription of South India as dated to the 13th Century C.E while the kings of Tamil Nadu were referred to as Pandya and Chola in the same inscription of the Kakatiya Dynasty of South India because the people of Tamil Nadu now known as 'Tamilans' were referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E while the people of Kerala including the Kings were referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history. : The region of modern Tamil Nadu as consisting of dharmapuri, salem, coimbatore etc as comprising of an earlier independent territorial unit known as ‘Kongu-Nadu’ were under their local chieftains referred to as 'Adiya or Adiyaman' until the 12th Century C.E in Indian history whereas it is the land of Kerala as comprising of the independent territorial unit known as ‘Malayalam’ or 'Malabar' who were under the local chieftains referred to as ‘Chera or Cheraman’ until the 12th century C.E in Indian history. : For Example: "The pagans (Hindus) of Malabar (Kerala) believes that a king (i.e a King of Kerala or Cheraman) had once ascended up to heaven and they continue to expect his descent therefore they assemble at cranganore (Kodungallur) and keep ready there wooden sandals, water and adorn the place with lamps and decorations on a certain night of the year" - Tuhfat al Mujahidin (16th Century C.E) : The Dravidian languages of Malayalam, Tamil, Tulu, Kannada, Telugu etc including the Tribal Languages (ex. Irula, Kurumba etc) as consisting of common/similar words are all emerging from a Proto-Dravidian language meaning an undocumented common spoken language in pre-history as attested by all linguists today hence there are places with common names in Kerala and Tamil Nadu even today (ex. Thondi, Musiri etc) thus it doesn't mean that the places of Kerala or 'Keralaputhra' referred to as Tyndis, Muziris etc by the travelers in the past were referring to the settlement of the people of Tamil Nadu or ‘Tamilans’ referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E but the people of Kerala referred to as ‘Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history. : For Example: “Among all the places in the world I have seen none equal to the Port of Alexandria except Kawlam (Kollam in Kerala) and Calicut (Kozhikodu in Kerala) in India” - Ibn Battuta (14th century C.E)
